What a great find on the video!! It was great to hear how Neil Young influences them to keep going and being true to themselves and the music. Saw them the first time at Farm Aid last year. Had no idea who he was. They blew out on stage and were Great!! Saw them again at Bridge School. Also, a couple of weeks ago at Knuckleheads in KC. The guys are so talented, something special. But beyound that, they are so willing to engage with the people who come to see them. Just very down to earth, easy-going. I sorta think that he will one day take over Farm Aid when Daddy Willie gets too old. Even in KC, he was talking about supporting farmers and growing sustainable crops like hemp. I think they will make it big some day, so I am greatful that they have many who have been there before them help lead the way.

I never even knew Willie had this boy. A new adventure for us to listen in on. My wife heard the first vocals when it came on and darted across the room. Told me he's handsome too. Gotta be something there. After a look into it, I agree.

A new day, a new post and something learned. That's a good day. Thanks T.

Well, one comment from me will not do!! I just have to say again, how great it was to see that video. I remember having a discussion with a friend of mine (BigChief) and we were discussing if anyone will ever come along in the future that could become musically, what Neil is. I remember telling him that I had a feeling about this kid, Lukas Nelson, that there is something about him musically that reminds me of Neil. Not that he is doing "Neil's" music, but that he was following his own path... I don't know how to explain it..

He could have it so easy if he wanted to, having Willie Nelson as your father certainly would open doors. But these guys are out gigging these small clubs, keeping it real.

And then to hear how influenced they are by Neil Young!!! How he inspired their name!!! I had NO idea!!! Anyhow, thanks again Thrasher!! Really, really cool!!

Oh, and if anyone is interested, there is a cool video of Lukas Nelson doing a great cover of "Cortez" with Rick Rosas on bass. I don't have a link (because I am not sure how to do that, lol) Look it up if you care to hear it.

It's refreshing that these young artists are keeping it real. The first thing neil did with his earnings was buy land -- not a mansion or fancy car. He built his own studio which demonstrated how much he wanted to control his craft. Sure m, eventually he branched out into boats and stuff. If I lived on that coast I would invest in a boat maybe even live on one. Neil has kept it real and we love him for that..thanks Sandy for sharing that story. Is it possible I saw Lukas at one of Willie's rodeo gigs on July 4th?.
